The Peruvian legislature enacted Law No. 27693 on November 6, 2018 to create the Financial Intelligence Unit and centralize anti-money laundering oversight. This legislation formally integrates the new unit into the Foundation Supervision Council’s regulatory framework, aligning it with national crime prevention models and general AML/CFT regulations. The law establishes the unit’s operational mandate, compliance obligations, and structural placement within existing financial oversight mechanisms.
